Description

Two of the greatest talents in modern Spanish cinema – Ricardo Darin (Wild
Tales) and Javier Camara (Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed) – take centre
stage in the multi award-winning new film from Cesc Gay, the director of
2014’s A Gun In Each Hand. A smash hit success in its home nations, TRUMAN
is a funny, heartfelt portrait of friendship, and life’s unexpected ups
and downs.

When theatre actor Julián (Darín) receives an unexpected visit from his
childhood friend Tomás (Cámara), the encounter is bittersweet. This reunion is
their first meeting in many years, triggered by Julian’s failing health.
Tomas is baffled by his friend’s decision to forgo treatment and instead
focus on putting his affairs in order: distributing possessions, reconciling
past disputes, and, most importantly, finding a home for his beloved Boxer,
Truman. It’s this task that is causing Julián the greatest concern.

With characteristic understatement and sensitivity, Gay finds great dignity
and humour in ordinary lives, delivering a witty, moving and hugely entertaining
reflection on human connection, and a reminder that the best friendships are,
indeed, forever.
